Intro |E | 4x
A Section
E(let ring) A
We are the opening band
E C#m A
We are here to do five or six or seven songs
Am B A B
“Don’t go too long, and get the hell off the stage”
E A
We are the opening band
E C#m A
We’re probably not the band you came to see tonight
Am B A E
But it’s alright, ’cause soon we’ll go away
B Section
A Am E G#
And we’re wondering, just where the hell’s the sound guy?
A Am E G#
He disappeared just after we got up here
A Am E G7
He’s probably behind the building rolling up a fattie
F#7(chord figure) B7
And he’ll be gone until our last song
A Section
E A
We got a VW van
E C#m A
I had to sell every Star Wars™ figure that I had
Am B A B
And ask my Dad to co-sign for the loan
E A
We don’t got a whole lot of fans
E C#m
Nobody asks for our autograph
A Am B A E
And, sad to say, as of today, no panties have been thrown
B Section
A Am E G#
And we’re wondering if this was worth the drive here
A Am E G#
We spent six hours in traffic on the highway
A Am E
For fifty bucks, and half price on the cheese fries
G7 F#7(chord figure)
And free Miller® Lite on tap
B7
Who can drink that crap?
Bridge
E F#11/E
My cousin lives in town, and we’ll be crashing at his place
G6/E Aadd9/E
Unless his girlfriend’s home from college and she’s staying for the weekend
Aadd9 Am11
And if she is, then we will have to go and park the van
E
Behind the IHOP by the Turnpike
E(breaK)
And we’ll sleep in the back seat
Bridge 3
A Am E G#
And we’re wondering just where the headline act is
A Am E G#
They’re prob’ly getting wasted in the green room
A Am E
And they don’t give a rat’s ass who we are
G7 F#7(chord figure)
So when they start to play up here
B7
We’re gonna drink all their beer
A Section
E A
We are the opening band
E C#m A
We hope that all of you sign up on our mailing list
Am B A B
And buy our disc and t-shirts (in black and gray)
E A
We are the opening band
E C#m A
And we only got about 25 more minutes left
Am B A E
That’s all we get to blow your ass away
Ending
E A
We are the opening band
E
We are the opening band
A
Hello
Am
Hello
E
Hello
